Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clamps, in particular to a bellows welding clamp. Background Art
[0002] Bellows primarily include metal bellows, bellows expansion joints, bellows heat exchange tubes, diaphragm capsules, and metal hoses. These bellows are primarily used to compensate for thermal deformation, reduce vibration, and absorb settlement deformation in pipelines. They are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, instrumentation, aerospace, chemicals, electric power, water conservancy, and metallurgy. Using conventional welding fixtures for bellows is difficult due to the presence of corrugated plates blocking the outer edges. Inserting the four forks on the rear ring into the four notches on the front ring while ensuring uniform clearances is difficult to accomplish manually.
[0003] A search revealed that publication number CN205237396U discloses a welding fixture for an inner shift fork bellows. The fixture comprises a sleeve with an annular shoulder on one side of the sleeve. The sleeve diameter to the left of the shoulder is larger than that to the right. Four positioning bosses are evenly spaced on the outer circumference of the sleeve root at the left end of the shoulder. Four positioning grooves are evenly spaced on the axial outer circumference of the sleeve to the left of the bosses. The positioning grooves and bosses are arranged coaxially, one after the other. This ensures the correct positioning of the shift fork and the notch, ensuring that the welded bellows meets the requirements.
[0004] Although the existing bellows welding fixture can clamp and fix the two joints of the bellows, the bellows welding requires 360-degree welding. After welding a part, the bellows needs to be unfixed and the angle adjusted, and then re-fixed for welding, which reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the existing bellows welding fixture, which is that although the two joints of the bellows can be clamped and fixed, the bellows welding requires 360-degree welding. After welding a part, the bellows needs to be released and the angle adjusted, and then re-fixed for welding, which reduces work efficiency. A bellows welding fixture is proposed.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A bellows welding fixture, comprising:
[0008] A support plate is installed on the machine platform of the laser welding machine and is used to support the corrugated pipe. Two grooves are provided on the top of the support plate. A through hole is provided between the two grooves. A bidirectional screw is rotatably installed in the through hole. Both ends of the bidirectional screw are threadedly connected to a moving block.
[0009] Two bottom support mechanisms are welded to the tops of the two moving blocks and are used to support the two bellows that need to be welded;
[0010] Two rectangular shells mounted on the outside of the two bottom support mechanisms;
[0011] Two height adjustment mechanisms, cooperating with the two rectangular shells;
[0012] The two top pressing mechanisms are connected to the two height adjustment mechanisms and are symmetrically arranged with the two bottom supporting mechanisms, and are used to press and fix the corrugated pipe and control the rotation of the corrugated pipe.
[0013] Preferably, a servo motor is installed on the outer side of the support plate, the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly installed to one end of the bidirectional screw, and both ends of the bidirectional screw are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove through bearings.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom support mechanism includes a support block, a plurality of strip grooves are opened on the top of the support block to form a plurality of support bars, an arc groove is opened on the top of the support block, and a plurality of balls are provided on the inner wall of the arc groove on the support bar. The bellows is supported by the balls, which can reduce the friction of the bellows when it rotates.
[0015] Preferably, the height adjustment mechanism includes a rectangular rod, which is slidably installed inside a rectangular shell. A receiving groove is provided at the bottom of the rectangular rod, and a linear motor is provided in the receiving groove. The output shaft of the linear motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the receiving groove, and the bottom end of the linear motor is installed on the bottom inner wall of the rectangular shell.
[0016] Preferably, the top clamping mechanism includes a top pressing block, which is fixedly mounted on the side of the rectangular rod. An arc-shaped pressing groove is provided at the bottom of the top pressing block, and a plurality of circular rollers are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the arc-shaped pressing groove. Synchronous motors are mounted on the outer sides of the plurality of circular rollers, and the synchronous motors are mounted on the outer side of the top pressing block.
[0017] In the present invention, the bellows welding fixture has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This solution places two bellows inside the arc-shaped grooves on two support blocks. Multiple support bars contact the recessed parts of the bellows and are supported by ball bearings. Two linear motors drive two rectangular rods to move downward, which in turn drive two top pressure blocks to move downward. The top pressure blocks press and secure the bellows via multiple circular rollers. A servo motor drives a bidirectional screw to rotate, which drives the two moving blocks closer to each other. The two moving blocks drive the two support blocks closer to each other, and the two support blocks drive the two bellows to contact each other.
[0019] This solution requires rotating the two bellows for angle adjustment. Six synchronous motors are started simultaneously to drive six rollers to rotate. The six rollers drive the two bellows to be welded to rotate for angle adjustment. The welding angle can be adjusted without releasing the fixed bellows, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0020] The utility model has a simple structure, is convenient for fixing the corrugated pipe, and can adjust the welding angle without releasing the fixed corrugated pipe, thereby improving work efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
